7 Tips to Shine as a Star TV Guest
Summary
Discover how a cosmetic surgeon made a remarkable impression on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now," and learn how you can do it too.When Dr. Robert Kotler's New York-based publicist contacted CNN, a pathway was set for an impactful guest spot. Here's how it unfolded and how you can ace your next TV appearance.
1. Plan Your Segment with the Producer
After an initial screening with a booker, I was connected with an associate producer. Through multiple conversations, we refined the topic for my 3-4 minute interview. Tip: Once you pass the initial audition, work closely with the producer to co-create the segment. Suggest ideas that resonate with the show’s audience while being open to the producer's vision.
2. Collaborate on Shaping the Segment
The core topic was my book, Secrets of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgeon. We discussed pressing consumer issues like selecting a qualified surgeon and ensuring the surgery facility's credentials and safety. Tip: Prioritize content that matches the audience's interests, and proactively suggest adjustments that enhance the segment.
3. Stay Prepared for Surprises
On-air, the focus shifted unexpectedly to celebrity surgeries. Paula Zahn’s engaging interview style kept the conversation lively. Tip: Always be ready for last-minute changes. Maintain your talking points while adapting to unexpected questions, providing candid and valuable insights.
4. Bridge to Your Key Messages
Despite the light nature of the interview, there were missed opportunities to share critical consumer tips. Tip: Connect celebrity examples to broader advice using transitions like, “Mistakes can happen to anyone, even celebrities. To avoid this...,” leading into your core message.
5. Balance Host's Lead with Your Points
While I could have redirected the conversation, I chose to go with the flow, ensuring I remained a welcome guest. Tip: Balance the host’s agenda with your points by gracefully transitioning between the two, leaving both the host and your audience satisfied.
6. Allow the Host to Promote You
The interview was promoted throughout the day, essentially offering free advertising. Tip: Avoid being overtly promotional; let the show position your product naturally. Confirm display information like your website ahead of time.
7. Capitalize on Recognition and Pitch New Ideas
Following the segment, my parents were thrilled with my TV presence. Tip: Use national exposure to bolster your credibility and pitch future segments. Propose fresh angles immediately post-interview when enthusiasm is high and secure a follow-up opportunity.
By following these steps, you can make a memorable impression as a TV guest and leverage the experience for greater media success.
